When running the Raspberry Pi Imager software via the native Pi desktop, none of the text displayed by the application respects local customisation settings made for the Pi desktop. For example, I have a 4K monitor and the font displayed within the Imager software is too small to read.
For all other packages supplied as part of the OS, I can right-click on the Pi Desktop, click on "Desktop Preferences", scroll down the last item in the list, "Theme", and amend the "Font" value [Nunito Sans Light] to a legible font size.
Even though I can make the above identified changes, the Imager software simply ignores/does not respect them. It seems to have hard-coded font sizes directly in to the application.
Describe the solution you would like to see implemented
RPi-Imager should be written to respect local/system settings with regards to e.g. the desktop preferences set by the user of the Pi.
ALL Pi software should do this... but the requirement is even more important for official software published by Raspberry Pi themselves - in this case, there really isn't an excuse...
Describe alternatives you've considered
For my specific use case, I'm not aware of any other means to reliably achieve the result I want. I am building Pi's to run with e.g. either the Pimoroni NVMe Duo M.2 adapter [for the Pi 5, using the PCIe bus] or the GeeekPi M.2 Adapter, using the USB jumper connector and a single M.2 drive.
After getting the new Pi to be working with a MicroSD Card, I need to be able to boot the Pi, write RaspberryPi OS to the NVMe drive - using Imager - and then use raspi-config to change the machine's boot order to try and boot from the NVMe drive first. I can run raspi-config via SSH and get a nice clear desktop display... but Imager only runs under the GUI, as far as I know. [And in any case, there's still no excuse for not respecting user preferences with respect to e.g. font size].
